I spoke to some of Deputy Troy's constituents yesterday when I was presenting them with certificates for good farming practice. They told me that cattle prices had risen in their area.

The main point is that people should be paid for their cattle when they sell them. On "Morning Ireland" this morning, the chief executive of ICOS told a good story. I will be monitoring the matter as it proceeds, but I will not be interfering with the receiver's due process. I hope the business will be protected and that farmers will be paid.
